Yankees starter Luis Severino turned in yet another superb effort in a starting role today, only to lose a closely fought game to the Toronto Blue Jays by a score of 3-2 on a Josh Donaldson home run in the eighth inning off Tyler Clippard.
Those things happen in baseball, and as a result, the Yankees limp out of Toronto flying home for a well deserved day off before meeting the Boston Red Sox, at home, in the third successive showdown series with arch-rivals and competitors in the American League East.
The Yankees bats were relatively quiet again today against probably the best starter the Blue Jays have in Marcus Stroman, who went six strong innings, surrendering only two runs.
